How did 4L start our day? We looked up words in the dictionary. What words? Teamwork, coachable, patriotism, unity, pride, dedication, and family. We talked about hard work and payoff. Then we watched a 10-minute highlight reel on last night’s hockey game. Canada & US The 4 Nations final.
After the winning goal I played ‘O Canada’. Immediately, all students stood and sang the loudest I’ve ever heard them sing. Many gave me fist pumps and beamed at me when Canada scored. ‘The hockey guys’ thanked me.
They won’t particularly remember today’s math lesson, or the book we read, but they’ll remember this. This is my ‘why’.
